Rex, Dorsum System. Base of the Commissariat Research Wing and Home of the Ghosts Pirate Company

[M D]

With the recent distraction after the Emperor's death, and the installation of a rapidly encroaching 'Big Brother' state in Dorsum, certain members of the ruling family saw an opportunity. Up until now the planet on the very edge of the System, Rex, had been the site of various experiments and plans that would be safer away from the hustle and bustle of Kong. However now it was the home to a different venture, a pirate base. With little knowledge of the Lord-Commissar, his son Ricardus had been siphoning the money sent to him and was meant for research, instead he had been buying second hand rogue ships from around the Empire and building up a small flotilla. It was set to become operational at the beginning of the next new year.
